Steadfast Golden Blonde Ale

This is a 5.5% ABV gluten-free beer from the Steadfast Beer Company of Holyoke, Massachusetts. It is brewed with sorghum, honey, coriander, orange peel and Belgian yeast.

The beer pours a pale golden yellow in color. There is a very tall head of fizzy, ragged, foaming and boiling white, that bubbles away to almost nothing. The aroma follows the ingredients list, you can smell the honey, coriander and orange peel, along with clove and banana from the yeast. The taste is tart, lip-smackingly so, very spiced in the flavor, with the yeast notes coming on strong. It is exceedingly dry and highly carbonated. If you combined a Berliner weisse with a Belgian white ale, you would get this beer, it combines the sour and the spice.
